No, life was not easy for them. Many ended up in areas of cities that were poorly built and slums. They were discriminated against and had low paying jobs. In 1830 60% of NYC was foreign born and most didn't speak or read English so they stayed in neighborhoods together. This didn't help them improve their standard of living.
